The Pressure Regulators WAS/WAT features a robust poppet in sleeve design to ensure good guiding and support and a valve that modulates to keep the downstream constant despite variations in flow rate and upstream pressure. The main valve poppet and seat, with a labyrinth grooved type, has proven to be best in “wire drawing” erosion, cavitations and dirt resistance.

Downstream pressure can be regulated up to 19 MPa, however the Pressure Regulators WAS/WAT were normally made to regulate in the range 1.0 – 2.0 Mpa in narrow limits to set the pressure.

Features of the Pressure Regulators WAS/WAT:

The Pressure Regulator is controlled by a pilot regulator normally mounted at the top of the valve.

Allows for rapid closure to prevent overpressure when the flow through the valve drops suddenly.

The valve opens slowly in response to low downstream pressure.

The supply pressure must be higher than the desired pressure to allow for internal losses in the valve

The wear parts are the same and are used in the HPE range of high pressure water control valves.

Maintenance can be done in-line requiring access from one side only.

Internal damping control for surging in very large systems adjustable orifice rate control.
